摘要
In a recent breakthrough, Dvir showed that every Kakeya set in Fn must have cardinality at least cn|F|n, where cn ≈ 1/n!. We improve this lower bound to ßn|F|n or a constant ß > 0. This pins down the correct growth of the constant cn as a function of n (up to the determination of ß). © 2008,Analysis and PDE.All Rights Reserved
